My Collection of Christmas little people.

Here they are, out of the loft and I was very glad to see them again. We don't have a Christmas tree in our house ! for years I have had a large bundle of tall Willow branches which I decorate with lights and fairies and elves and of course the baubles, it always looks lovely and has a lot of admiration from visitors. Then after Christmas it stands in the corner of the dining room with just the fairy light, and brightens up the room especially when we have people around for dinner.

I will probably only do another couple of posts this year and then start again when things get going in the New Year. I have almost finished the present shopping and wrapped up most of them. The cards have been posted, but I always forget someone, even though I do a list every year. So I have a few cards and stamps at the ready just in case.

Have a good week-end everyone.

These two little cuties are my buy this year, they have such silly faces I couldn't resist.

They are all very cute and festive. I plan to post up till Christmas Eve then I'll restart when I have something garden related to write about. I may though date a few posts to post themselves to usher in the New Year.

Oh Maureen you are a girl of my own heart. You have such great taste in angels and fairies etc. I love the wooden decorations too. This is my first Christmas were I am really trying to express myself. I have another angel for you (I'll post soon) I forgot about her, it's a tapistry by little old me so keep your eyes open!! xxx

Hi Pam, ah thank you for your kind comment. The willow branches will have to be replaced next year I think, as they are getting a bit brittle. I need to buy nice fresh ones from the market in Winchester.I hope you are well, must visit your blog !have a good week-end. xx

Welcome to my Blog

I started this blog in November 2008. I didn't know where it would go or even if I would keep at it. But here I am now into April 2014 and still blogging and enjoying it. I still remember the excitement when I got my first comment, and now I even have followers, amazing !! I also follow and read a lot of brillient blogs and have made some lovely friends in the blogging world.

It's also very useful keeping a diary about my allotment and it serves as a personal record of my achievements and of my failures. In fact when I re-read some of my older entries it makes me wonder how I managed back then to find the time to get the allotment plot up to the planting and growing stage, but I did and I grew a great variety of vegetables and fruit in my first year, and it's just got better.

If you are dropping by please feel free to leave a comment or a link to your blog, or just say hello or even e-mail me.

A favourite poem

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,Enwrought with the golden and silver lightThe blue and the dim and the dark clothsOf night and light and the half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feetBut I, being poor, have only my dreams;I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...
